Can we upload images? (kbin.earth)

Hey all, I have been having problems getting offsite images to load via the image markup in comments. I see other Fediverse instances allow users to upload images directly, is that a feature that is active on KBin.Earth? If so how do I use it? I'm mainly using Interstellar as my client.

Thanks!

The issue is that you use the link of the Imgur page as the image link. But you need to use the url of the image itself: https://i.imgur.com/UQcNyYn.jpeg

this should work

Edit: seems to not work, but this might be because of Imgurs restrictions. Lets see if Catbox works (https://files.catbox.moe/ekr3ve.jpeg):

    interesting, yeah, seems like it is an imagr / mbin compatability issue. I'll try isn't catbox next time, I have never used it but it a ems the preferred service, any specific reason?

    I don't really know why catbox is so popular here. But I saw others using it, tried it and saw that it is easy to use and reliable (except when some governments block it). So I think it has some kind of bias-effect (people hear about it, it works, they talk about it and so on).
